Chapter 44 The three major comic websites
“No integration?”
Lin Yi's eyes were about to be straightened, "But the world has owed my royalties for a week, and he told me that it was the website's internal integration and some of the royalties were delayed."
"There should be no internal integration, but I heard that the funder behind Mantianxia, Yiwan Network, is going to withdraw its investment. From this point of view, it should be a real thing."
Ivan Networks is the leading game company in China, and it is also the major shareholder and financial backer of Wanxia.
"In other words, Mantianxia can't issue any manuscript fees?"
"This is really unsure." Green Light said: "The comics industry is already niche, and most of the market cakes are in the hands of Jiuzhou Comics. In addition, it is Qingyang Comics, and in the end it can be used to spread all over the world..."
Jiuzhou Network Company is one of the network giant companies known as Ivan Networks.
Jiuzhou Comics is a subsidiary of Jiuzhou Network Company and is also the leader in the comics industry. It has the largest group of comic readers in China. It has four top masters in the comics industry, and Jiuzhou Comics occupies three.
Qingyang Comics is a comic website developed entirely on its own. The original intention of the website was to share excellent comic books. Later, it was gradually operated and became one of the best comic websites in China.
Ak28, one of the four top masters in the comics industry, signed a contract with Qingyang Comics.
The last manga world can only rank third among domestic comic websites. Relying on the financial support of the funder Ivan Network, it has attracted many excellent comic writers, and there are also several S-level contracts, but there are few top masters in the industry like AK28 and Daluo. Its fame is slightly worse than Kyushu Comics and Qingyang Comics.
Green Light said: "I heard that Ivan Network has been in a loss in Mantianxia's investment, so there are rumors that Ivan Network wants to withdraw its investment. At present, Mantianxia's comic market share is not large, and it is also because of the high welfare remuneration that can retain a large number of comic authors. Once Ivan Network withdraws its investment, Mantianxia's capital chain will probably be broken, and the website may not be able to hold on."
Lin Yi almost jumped up, "Damn, then I can't get my more than 2 million royalties?"
"More than two million?!" The green light on the other end of the phone almost threw the phone out, "I remember it was only over a month since you signed the contract? Is there so much royalty, you are still a newcomer!"
Lin Yi said, "The orders are 140,000 yuan high, and the orders are over 80,000 yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, the monthly royalties should be more..."
"More than two million... No! You have to, you have to! You won't sue him!" Green Light's tone became heavy, "And I tell you that there is one in the Mantian contract that comic authors with annual income of more than three million have the right to submit an application to the website and upgrade the contract to S-level. Not only does the division be higher, but they can also determine the copyright of their comics and the right to adapt the game animation!"
"Really or not?"
"You have a contract in your hands, so you won't see it?" Green Light said: "But what's the use of signing a S-level contract? Once the whole world is over, it's just a piece of waste paper, and you may not even get the royalties."
"That won't work. I have to get the royalties back!" Lin Yi himself felt a great sense of crisis. After all, his girlfriend Bai Xiaoxiao is so beautiful, with a great figure and delicious cooking. Now he is getting more and more popular.
He is born with his appearance, and Lin Yi doesn't want to use a knife on his face. If he wants to be worthy of Bai Xiaoxiao, he has to work hard to make money.
But after finally earning more than 2 million yuan in royalties, I wasted such a waste?
No, absolutely not!
After hanging up the call, Lin Yi found the A-level contract he signed and searched carefully. There was indeed such a thing in it.
The manuscript remuneration last month was more than two million. Although it has not yet been released this month, the average manuscript subscription volume is even higher than last month. The combined manuscript remuneration will definitely exceed three million, let alone annual income.
According to the process, I downloaded an application form, filled in my own information, and sent it to the editor-in-chief Qiangwei.
After waiting for a long time, the other party replied to the message.
Qiangwei: I received it, wait for me and the editor to submit the application.
Lin Yi added another message: OK, this is the 17th, I want to ask, when will the royalties be paid?
Waited for a long time.
Lin Yi: Editor, are you there?
Rose: I'm busy.
Lin Yi was on fire: Who is not busy? Are you not waiting for the royalties to have a meal?
Qiangwei: I have said it many times. I don’t know when the website’s internal rectification will be completed. I will wait for the notice.
After saying that, no matter what message Lin Yi sent, he would not reply.
Damn, what's the matter? Lin Yi was so angry that he wanted to scold him!
On the other side, Huayu Publishing House.
"How is it? Let's talk about it. Have you found any book worth signing in the past few days?"
"The domestic comics industry such as AK28 and Daluo have been exposed to it. Among them, Daluo's new book "Nine Night Street" has not been published yet, but no matter the style, plot or the level of novelty, it is impossible to compare with "Dream Master".
"I have also screened the S-level comics signed by several major websites. Most of them are still at the level of Japanese comics more than ten years ago. I guess those A-level and B-level comics signed by them are even more unbearable to read."
"Is there no amazing good works in China?"
"That's right, when can we publish a national comic in our country?"
"If it really doesn't work, just "Nine Night Street".
"Sign up "Nine Night Street"? It's better to sign a Japanese comic with a high popularity. The current physical comics are not Japanese comics. How many readers can buy it?"
The editor-in-chief of Huayu Publishing House looked at several editors in the debate and sighed, "By the way, how about the Japanese benzene side? Is there any good book worth signing?"
Of course, he didn't have any hope for this. The dark horse comic "Dream Master" has just been released in Japanese comics. How could he publish another good book so quickly?
Isn’t this picking cabbage in supermarkets?
The editor in charge of the Japanese comics market pushed his glasses, "Last week, a new dark horse appeared, named "Crayon Shin-chan". The newcomer ranked second in popularity research, behind "The Dreamer"..."
As he was talking, the editor also clicked on the latest research statistics table sent by his colleague from Riben to explain something.
Suddenly, the editor was shocked and stunned.
The editor-in-chief and others glanced over curiously and saw the survey form:
First: "Crayon Shin-chan", 2450 votes.
Second: "The Dreamer of the World", 1896 votes.
Third: "Soul of Fighting", 982 votes.
...
More than a dozen editors, including the editor-in-chief, took a breath!
"Oh my God, where is this comic coming out... It's actually five or six hundred votes higher than "The Dreamer"!"
"Awesome, so awesome."
"The Dream Master of the World has been the best book among newcomers in recent years, but this book "Crayon Shin-chief"... has this manga master from Japanese comics opened a new book?"
"Mahua Teng? Riben doesn't seem to be a comic master named Mahua Teng?"
"So, this is a dark horse that is even more amazing than "The Dreamer of the World"!"
The editor-in-chief was red, "This comic was launched last week. Why did you tell me now? Is it still too late to poach people?"
Chapter completed!
